The Moth and the Thunderclap, curated by Simon Grant
Modern Art
4-8 Helmet Row, EC1
4 February - 18 March 2023
A group exhibition featuring over 40 artists. Taking its title from a painting by the celebrated American artist Charles Burchfield, The Moth and The Thunderclap aims to show how artists have been compelled to reflect an indeterminate psychological space where nature and culture collide, often filtered through their experience of landscape.
Ken Kiff: Man, Bird and Tree
Carl Freedman Gallery
28 Union Crescent, Margate, CT9
20 November 2022 to 5 February 2023
A major solo exhibition. Kiff remains an artist of fascination with many admirers including a new generation of figurative painters. His paintings and drawings, created in a wide variety of media, are characterised by mythical landscapes and fantastic flights of the imagination, all painted in radiant saturated colours. At the heart of almost every work is a confrontation between people, animals and monsters that leaves at least one of the protagonists wide-eyed or open-mouthed. We are meant to be both bewildered and enchanted.
